Un thumba ihambelana nokutheleleka okujulile kwesisekelo sezinwele, i-pilosebaceous follicle, ngenxa yegciwane, okuthi ezimweni eziningi iStaphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).

Amathumba yi inkinobho enkulu kubuhlungu kakhulu, ekuqaleni kubomvu futhi kunzima, okuphenduka ngokushesha i-pustule (= induna enekhanda elimhlophe equkethe ubomvu).

Amathumba angaba kuwo wonke umzimba. Bayaphola ezinsukwini ezimbalwa, inqobo nje uma belandele ukwelashwa okwanele.

Kwezinye izimo, amathumba amaningana avela endaweni efanayo. Sikhuluma-keI-Anthrax, iqoqo lamathumba amaningana athinta izinhlayiya ze-pilosebaceous ezingomakhelwane, ezenzeka ikakhulukazi emhlane ongenhla.

Ubani ophathwa amathumba?

Amathumba ajwayelekile kakhulu futhi athinta kakhulu abesilisa nentsha.

Izindawo ezinoboya ezingqubuzana yizo ezithinteka kakhulu: intshebe, ikhwapha, iqolo namahlombe, izinqe, amathanga.

Kunzima ukulinganisa ngokunembile ukusabalala kwamathumba, kepha ukutheleleka kwesikhumba okuhambisana neStaphylococcus aureus (okubandakanya ezinye izifo ezinjengamathumba, i-folliculitis noma i-erysipelas) kufinyelela kuma-70% wezifo zesikhumba okufanele zibangelwe. ukwelapha izifo zesikhumba eFrance¹.

Izimbangela zamathumba

Amathumba cishe njalo abangelwa amagciwane abizwa I-staphylococcus aureus (I-staphylococcus aureus), esakazeke kakhulu emvelweni kodwa futhi esihlala kubantu, esikhunjeni, ezindleleni zamakhala noma emgudwini wokugaya ukudla.

Cishe ama-30% abantu abadala "bangabathwali" baphakade beStaphylococcus aureus, okusho ukuthi "bayigcina" ngokuqhubekayo, ikakhulukazi emgodini wamakhala, ngaphandle kokuthola ukutheleleka.

Kodwa-ke, iStaphylococcus aureus ikhiqiza ubuthi obuyingozi ngakho-ke ingaba yingozi kakhulu, ithelele isikhumba, kepha nezitho zangaphakathi noma igazi kwezinye izimo.

Sekuyiminyaka eminingana manje, i-staphylococci aureus iye yaba namandla okumelana namagciwane futhi ibonisa usongo olukhulayo, ikakhulukazi ezibhedlela.

Inkambo kanye nezinkinga ezikhona zamathumba

Ngokuvamile, ithumba elilula, elilungiswe kahle liyaphola phakathi nezinsuku ezimbalwa, nokho, lishiya isibazi. THE 'I-Anthrax (ukuhlanganiswa kwamathumba amaningana) kudinga ukwelashwa okunamandla futhi kungase kuthathe isikhathi eside ukuphola.

Izinkinga azivamile, nakuba kuvamile ukuthi ithumba liphinde livele endaweni efanayo ezinyangeni ezimbalwa noma eminyakeni embalwa kamuva.

Kwezinye izimo, ikakhulukazi kubantu abanamasosha omzimba abuthakathaka, amathumba angadala izinkinga ezinkulu kakhulu:

• a fumbile, ebonakala ngamathumba aphindaphindiwe, aphindayo futhi aqhubeke isikhathi esiyizinyanga ezimbalwa
• a ukutheleleka okukhulu : amagciwane angasakazeka egazini (= sepsis) nasezithweni ezihlukahlukene zangaphakathi uma ithumba elingaphathwanga kahle liba libi kakhulu. Ngenhlanhla, lezi zinkinga azivamile kakhulu.
